I've been traveling so forgive me for not posting this yesterday, but: That Signal clone app for archiving messages that Mike Waltz has been using, TeleMessage? It's unlicensed. Signal was unaware of its existence until they saw it in that Reuters photo. There's no known security vetting.
Photo appears to show Mike Waltz using Signal-like app that can archive messages
More than a month after he drew criticism for using Signal to discuss an impending military attack, Waltz was seen using what appears to be a different messaging app to message others in the Trump adm...

Good advice. I suppose my reaction would be to treat it like a suspicious email and call the bank directly with their number posted on their website.

“Thank you, this sounds important.” (a little validation from my call-center days 😉) “I’m going to call you back on a trusted line. Goodbye.”

Holy shit, you guys.

I just read Curtis Yarvin'a actual writing instead of a summary.

The man is 51 years old, treated as an intellectual by the Sand Hill elite, and he writes like the most annoying freshman honors student who ever discovered Nietzsche from a comic book guide to philosophy.

my feed right now is just substack blog after substack blog after substack blog and half of them right now are specifically critiques of the guys from the big fascist signal chats article and those critiques are delivered on the platform that makes nazis money and it’s making me sad.
When I talk about how Substack was funded as part of a deliberate strategy to make a platform where they could mainstream their fascist ideas, this is the group I am talking about. The other suckers who put their newsletters on the platform are playing into this agenda.

Budget released today:
40% cut to NIH
50% cut to NSF
If enacted, this will destroy academic research in the United States. It will also have a major trickle down effect on the entire academic ecosystem

Please highlight this story.

ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago.

The default Dem position should be that nothing under Trump is valid.

Trump didn't honor his predecessors' agreements. He didn't even honor his own trade agreements. He didn't honor Congressional appropriations. He doesn't follow laws.

Clean slate. If you rely on him, your loss.
Fully on board with dems running for office promising to reinstate fired federal employees and jail this administration’s various criminals, but let’s go ahead and add “we will seize by eminent domain any national parkland sold to developers”

In @vauhinivara.bsky.social 's book "Searches" there is a lovely chapter reflecting on how hard it can be to avoid Amazon, but there is really zero reason to buy books there anymore, ever. Go to your local indie or check out bookshop.org
Man, this is a pretty fucking gross move from Amazon, huh? Good on @bookshop.org for not mincing words, though:

This is exceptionally well reported: in case after case Trump has surrendered long time US interests to favor Russia and gained nothing in return. When you put it all together it a staggering surrender.

Many of President Trump’s actions have been seen as benefiting Russia either directly or indirectly, so much so that Russian officials have celebrated some of his moves.

In the wake of what Judge Dugan did (100% legal), now is a good time for everyone to know what she knows:

An immigration or administrative warrant is *not* a judicial warrant. You are not obliged to obey it. Indeed, you can let the person out the back door. docs.google.com/presentation...

Let's wake up. He's REALLY unpopular for this early in a term or really ever. President's this unpopular are already losing. Power becomes harder to assert when your power is fading.

This moment when the penny drops that trying to implement bathroom bans is an impossibility for the former Tory Chief Secretary Simon Clarke is delicious.

I feel like we need to keep saying this because it’s so insane: This is a legal U.S. resident who has been detained for over a month now for his political opinions.
The Department of Homeland Security denied Mahmoud Khalil permission to attend the birth of his first child, who was delivered at a New York hospital on Monday, according to emails reviewed by The New York Times.

Mr. Khalil, a permanent resident detained in Louisiana, had requested a monitored furlough for the birth. His request was denied in less than an hour.

Sen. Van Hollen: "I don't think it's ever wrong to fight for the constitutional rights of one person because if we give up on one person's rights, we threaten everybody's rights...Anyone who is not prepared to stand up and fight for the Constitution doesn't deserve to lead."

In a clip from a July 2024 virtual town hall that recirculated online earlier this year RFK said Americans “addicted” to opioids, antidepressants, and stimulants should be sent to “wellness farms." This country tried that once before. Spoiler: It didn’t work.
